Hello, and I know this isn't specific to Front Page, but there are some
very helpful people here.

At the bottom of a quite long page I want to create a link to the top of
that very page.

Assume the page is named longpage.htm and that the link is "TOP OF LONG
PAGE."

What are the pros and cons of these two methods, and is there a better
way?

Method 1

<a href="#top">TOP OF LONG PAGE</a>

Method 2

<a href="longpage.htm">TOP OF LONG PAGE</a>

In particular I'm interested in which method will load the page faster,
but I certainly want to know about any other other differences. They do
both work at all, don't they?

Thanks.

--Johnny

<a href="#top">TOP OF LONG PAGE</a>
will be faster as it doesn't reload the page from the server.
